2 Mpanjaka 25
1 Ie tamy taom-paha-sive’ i fifehea’ey, amy andro faha-folo’ i volam-paha-folo’ey te nivotrak’ eo t’i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele, ie naho o lahindefo’e iabio, haname Ierosalaime naho nitobe ama’e vaho nandranjy rafim-pamofohañe niarikatok’ aze.
Now in the ninth year of his rule, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came against Jerusalem with all his army and took up his position before it, building earthworks all round the town.
2 Le niarikatoheñe pak’ amy taom-paha-folo-raik’ ambi’ i Tsidkiày i rovay.
And the town was shut in by their forces till the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
3 Ie tamy andro faha-sive’ i volam-pah’ efatseiy, lineveleve’ ty hasalikoañe o an-drovao, naho tsy ama’ mahakama ondati’ i taneio.
Now on the ninth day of the fourth month, the store of food in the town was almost gone, so that there was no food for the people of the land.
4 Niboroboñafeñe i rovay le fonga nipolititse amy haleñey o lahin-defoñeo nimb’ amy lalañe añivo’ ty kijoly roe marine’ i golobom-panjakaiy mb’eo, f’ie natretrè’ o nte-Kasdy nañarikatoke i rovaio te nomb’ an-dala’ i montoñey mb’eo.
So an opening was made in the wall of the town, and all the men of war went in flight by night through the doorway between the two walls which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldaeans were stationed round the town: ) and the king went by the way of the Arabah.
5 Nihoridañe’ o lahindefoñe nte-Kasdio i mpanjakay le nitrà’ iereo amonto’ Ierikoo ey; vaho fonga niparaitake ama’e o lahindefo’eo.
But the Chaldaean army went after the king, and overtook him in the lowlands of Jericho, and all his army went in flight from him in every direction.
6 Aa le nasese’ iareo amy mpanjaka’ i Baveley e Riblà ao i mpanjakay, le zinaka’e.
And they made the king a prisoner and took him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah to be judged.
7 Zinevo’ iereo añatrefam-pihaino’e o ana-dahi’ i Tsidkiào naho napoliti’ iareo o fihaino’ i Tsidkiào naho vinahotse torisike vaho nasese mb’e Bavele añe.
And they put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes, and then they put out his eyes, and chaining him with iron bands, took him to Babylon.
8 Ie amy androm-paha-fito’ i volam-paha-limeiy, ty taom-paha-folo-sive’ ambi’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele, le nivotrake e Ierosalaime ao t’i Nebozaradane, mpifehem-piambeñe, mpitoro’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley;
Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem;
9 le finorototo’e ty anjomba’ Iehovà naho ty anjomba’ i mpanjakay naho ze hene anjomba e Ierosalaime ao; fonga nampangotomomohe’e añ’ afo ze anjomba’ ondaty bey.
And he had the house of the Lord and the king's house and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned with fire;
10 Le rinotsa’ o lahindefo nte-Kasdý nindre amy talem-piambeñeio o kijoli’ Ierosalaime nañariary azeo.
And the walls round Jerusalem were broken down by the Chaldaean army which was with the captain.
11 Hene nendese’ i Nebozaradane an-drohy ze sehanga’ ondaty amy rovay ao, naho ze nikapotrake, o nivalike mb’amy mpanjaka’ i Baveleo, vaho o honkahonka’ i valobohòkeio.
And the rest of the people who were still in the town, and all those who had given themselves up to the king of Babylon, and all the rest of the workmen, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away as prisoners;
12 Fe nenga’ i talem-piambeñey o rarake amy taneio ho mpañalahalam-bahe vaho mpihare.
But he let the poorest of the land go on living there, to take care of the vines and the fields.
13 Dinemodemo’ o nte-Kasdio o fahañe torisike añ’ anjomba’ Iehovào naho i sajoa torisike reke-tombo’e añ’anjomba’ Iehovày, vaho nente’ iareo mb’e Bavele mb’eo i torisikey.
And the brass pillars in the house of the Lord, and the wheeled bases, and the great brass water-vessel in the house of the Lord, were broken up by the Chaldaeans, who took the brass to Babylon.
14 Nendeseñe añe ka o valàñeo naho o endraendrao, o fampikipehañeo, naho o fingao, naho o fonga fanake torisike fitoroñañeo.
And the pots and the spades and the scissors for the lights and the spoons, and all the brass vessels used in the Lord's house, they took away.
15 Nendese’ i talem-piambeñey añe o fañembohañeo naho o kovetao, ze raha volamena ty ami’ty volamena’e, naho ze volafoty ty ami’ty volafoti’e.
And the fire-trays and the basins; the gold of the gold vessels and the silver of the silver vessels, were all taken away by the captain of the armed men.
16 I fahañe roe rey, i sajoa-beiy, naho o kalesy niranjie’ i Selomò ho a i anjomba’ Iehovàio; tsy nionin-danja ty torisike amo fanake iabio.
The two pillars, the great water-vessel and the wheeled bases, which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
17 Folo kiho valo’ amby ty haabo’ ty fahañe raike, le tama’e i satro’e torisikey; telo kiho i satro’ey; tsingarakarake naho dagoa ty nañarikatoke i satro’ey, fonga torisike; nihambañe ama’e i fahañe faharoey naho i tsingarakara’ey.
One of the pillars was eighteen cubits high, with a crown of brass on it; the crown was three cubits high, circled with a network and apples all of brass; and the second pillar had the same.
18 Rinambe’ i talem-pañambeñey t’i Seraià mpisorom-bey naho i Tsefanià mpisorom-paharoe, naho ty mpitan-dalañe telo;
And the captain of the armed men took Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three door-keepers;
19 le rinambe’e ty vosi’e nanoeñe mpifehe’ o lahindefoñeo, naho ondaty lime mpiatreke i mpanjakay nizoeñe an-drovao naho i mpanoki’ i mpiaolom-balobohòke mpikoike ondati’ i taneioy, reketse ty lahilahy enempolo am’ ondati’ i taney nitendrek’ an-drovao.
And from the town he took the unsexed servant who was over the men of war, and five of the king's near friends who were in the town, and the scribe of the captain of the army, who was responsible for getting the people of the land together in military order, and sixty men of the people of the land who were in the town.
20 Nendese’ i Nebozaradane talèm-piambeñe iereo naho nasese’e mb’amy mpanjaka’ i Baveley e Riblà ao,
These Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took with him to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
21 vaho zinevo’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley, zinama’e e Riblà an-tane’ Kamate. Aa le nakareñe an-tane’e vaho nasese an-drohy añe t’Iehodà.
And the king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was taken away prisoner from his land.
22 Aa ty am’ondaty nengañe an-tane’ Iehodào, o napò’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Baveleo, le nanoe’e ho mpifehe’ iareo t’i Gedalià, ana’ i Akikame, ana’ i Safane.
As for the people who were still living in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, did not take away, he made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler over them.
23 Ie hene nahajanjiñe o mpiaolo lahindefoñeo naho ondati’eo te nanoe’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley mpifehe t’i Gedalià, le nimb’ amy Gedalià e Mitspà mb’eo t’Ismaele, ana’ i Netanià, naho Iohanane, ana’ i Kareàke, naho i Seraià, ana’ i Tankomete nte-Netofà, vaho Ia’azanià, ana’ ty nte-Makà rekets’ ondati’ iareoo.
Now the captains of the armed forces, hearing that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah ruler, came with their men to Gedaliah at Mizpah; Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah, the son of the Maacathite, came with all their men.
24 Le nifañina am’ iereo t’i Gedalià naho am’ondati’eo, nanao ty hoe: Ko hembañe amo mpitoro’ o nte-Kasdioo; imoneño o taneo vaho toroño i mpanjaka’ i Baveley, fa izay ty hahasoa anahareo.
Then Gedaliah gave his oath to them and their men, saying, Have no fear because of the servants of the Chaldaeans; go on living in the land under the rule of the king of Babylon, and all will be well.
25 Fe ami’ty volam-paha-fito, le nimb’eo t’Ismaele, ana’ i Netanià, ana’ i Elisama tirim-panjaka rekets’ ondaty folo le zinevo’ iareo t’i Gedalià, vinono’ iereo naho o nte-Iehoda naho nte-Kasdý nitraok’ ama’e e Mitspào.
But in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king's seed, came with ten men and made an attack on Gedaliah, causing his death and the death of the Jews and the Chaldaeans who were with him at Mizpah.
26 Niongak’ amy zao ondaty iabio, ty kede naho ty bey, naho o mpifehe lahindefoñeo nimb’e Mitsraime mb’eo amy t’ie nihembañe amo nte-Kasdio.
Then all the people, small and great, and the captains of the forces, got up and went away to Egypt, for fear of the Chaldaeans.
27 Ie amy taom-paha-telopolo-fito’ ambi’ ty naha mpirohi’ Iehoiakine mpanjaka’ Iehoda, amy andro faha-roapolo-fito’ ambi’ i volam-pahafitoiy, te naonjo’ Ivil-merodake mpanjaka’ i Bavele amy taom-pamotoram-pifeleha’ey ty añambone’ Iehoiakine mpanjaka Iehoda boak’ am-porozò ao,
And in the thirty-seventh year after Jehoiachin, king of Judah, had been taken prisoner, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evil-merodach, king of Babylon, in the first year of his rule, took Jehoiachin, king of Judah, out of prison;
28 le namere aze vaho napo’e ambone’ o fiambesam-panjaka mpindre ama’e e Baveleo i fiambesa’ey.
And said kind words to him, and put his seat higher than the seats of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
29 Sinolo’e o sikim-pandrohiza’eo, le nikama añ’ atrefa’ i mpanjakay nainai’e amo hene andro niveloma’eo.
And his prison clothing was changed, and he was a guest at the king's table every day for the rest of his life.
30 Le i fiveloma’ey, nampamahane’ i mpanjakay aze ty anjara mifanoitoy, ty anjara boak’ andro amo hene andro niveloma’eo.
And for his food, the king gave him a regular amount every day for the rest of his life.
